As an ordained elder + pastor, I have the privilege of coaching couples and officiating weddings; each one as unique as and representative of the people I get the privilege of marrying. One of my FAVORITE things is ensuring that couples have a joyful, authentic ceremony - no matter how large or how intimate. I look forward to supporting your special day, however you envision it! I am based in VA, but I love a good trip so I’m also happy to support weddings outside of Virginia and destination weddings / elopements.

“Our wedding with B.A. was everything we wanted and more. From start to finish, the experience felt personal, smooth, and thoughtfully guided. Every detail reflected care and intention, making the day feel stress-free and truly centered on our love. We felt supported throughout the entire process, and the atmosphere created for our ceremony was beautiful and meaningful. It wasn’t just a wedding—it was a moment we’ll always remember with gratitude and joy.”
